Ok i have recently bought a monitor , it was a real steal , i think around 50 euros for a 22" LG HD monitor so i couldn't resist , the thing is all the VGA TO Dvi-D DL connectors cost another 50 euros I found a VGA to HDMI cable for like 5 euros so i can just plug it into my GPU's HDMI port , by the way my GPU is an Asus 670 DC2 , would that work? I've read around that improper use of HDMI might cause hardware damage

What VulkanBros linked would work but not advised. VGA and HDMI are completely incompatible so you need to use an active converter (DAC) to perform the digital to analog conversion which introduces latency.

Your card has two DVI ports, why not use those? The card probably came with DVI-A to VGA adapters. If it didn't, adapters are cheap. I would trust a 5 Euro DVI-A to VGA adapter; I would not trust a 5 euro HDMI to VGA converter.

Seriously? A 1080p screen with no DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort inputs? What was LG smoking?

As previously explained i need a DVI-D to VGA adapter , the DVI-I is occupied by my current monitor and my GPU only came with the PCI to 6pin connector :S

Well, shipping an adapter of the kind Ford mentioned to you in Greece would cost you 20 euro so that is not really making it worthwile for you. Else I had shipped one to you. Check Greek price watches for a DVI-A to VGA (sometimes called D-sub) adapter, no need to use a DAC.

so instead of going over all the hassle of adapters , converters etc etc i decided to go for a TV-Monitor with HDMI ( which pretty much solves all of my problems plus i finally get to have a TV on my pc room )
